Elon Musk, the Tesla boss, on April 7, called for the removal of a Brazilian Supreme Court justice, accusing him of censorship for blocking accounts suspected of spreading disinformation.
The billionaire entrepreneur said Alexandre de Moraes “has brazenly and repeatedly betrayed the constitution and people of Brazil. He should resign or be impeached."
The series of scathing attacks in opposition to the Brazilian justice began on Saturday evening, as the Space X chief took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) and stated, “We will probably lose all revenue in Brazil and have to shut down our office there." Elon Musk alleged that Alexandre de Moraes was threatening to “cut off access" to the platform and said, “But principles matter more than profit."
